James Neesham (10-1-31-5):
I went back to doing what I do well - simply attempted to hit the deck laborious as imaginable. I had no longer bowled well in the first couple of video games, so sought after to come out and put a efficiency on. They did put us under drive initially however it's fulfilling to bowl them out. It is an attractive excellent wicket and if anything it has gotten faster after the rain damage. We simply sought after to keep it in the precise spaces, we didn't get a whole lot of rewards up top however you simply have to stay with it and hope you get it accomplished. We wouldn't have the outcome yet, we still have to head out there and chase those runs. It is about doing your job, myself and Colin (de Grandhomme) as the allrounders, now we have got along with us four world class operators at the other end, simply must get during the overs. You never fully confident. We know they have got a few strong bowlers, so it up to Gups (Guptill) and Colin (Munro) to head out and get started strongly and we can see how we pass from there.

Kane Williamson: We are going to have a bowl. A recent wicket and looks a excellent one. It is sweet to have a few wins in entrance people. But we need to adapt to the new ground and new floor. It used to be difficult but it surely used to be nice to get across the line. They are all monitoring very properly.
